In September of the sixteenth year of Yongzhi, four months passed in a blink of an eye.

Since the last time there was a lot of trouble in the Thousand Households, the entire Thousand Households has rarely entered a calm.

But the calm here means that there is no major event happening, and behind the calm is still the constant wrestling between the two gangs.

And after the last incident, Chen Xiaoting also has a name in the Thousand Households.

Although he was not the protagonist of the incident, he was praised by Shen Yue many times on various occasions, and it was difficult for Chen Xiaoting not to be famous.

Also after the last incident, Zhang Yuansheng also kept a lot of low profile in the Thousand Households, and he was not so oppressive to Zhang Zhenshan and Chen Xiaoting.

But it was not his great mercy, but because Zhang Yuansheng had his own things to do, and he didn't have time to fight with Zhang Zhenshan.

Time became more leisurely, and Chen Xiaoting also received an errand in the city, responsible for the monitoring of one-third of the ground in Luyang South City.

There are two hundred households in Qianhu, and there are a total of 20 small flag officials, but only 10 of them are responsible for the monitoring of Lu Yang.

The rest of the small flag officers were either used in front of the three chief and deputy thousand households, or they were sent out to inspect the errands.

Although monitoring Lu Yang can collect filial piety, these are not into his Chen Xiaoting's pocket, and they are all directly handed over to thousands of households.

And those who are in front of the three bigwigs and those who are sent out have almost double the monthly profit, which is extremely enviable.

Not only that, but going out to do errands can also increase your own merits and lay a good foundation for future promotion.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Xiaoting, and those who have the same fate as him are Yue Menghao, who was left in Beicheng.

Standing on the busy street, feeling the awe-inspiring eyes of the surrounding crowd, Chen Xiaoting felt that he was luckier than Yue Menghao.

Because they are all government offices and dignitaries in the north city, the errands they receive are extremely boring, so it is more comfortable to feel the world of flowers in the south city.

"My lord? Just this one? Behind Chen Xiaoting, Liu Jianping asked tentatively.

Chen Xiaoting pressed the saber, and then said to Liu Jianping and Zhang Ertie and the others behind him: "That's it!" ”

This is just this one, Liu Jianping, as Chen Xiaoting's number one horse boy at the moment, immediately stepped into the inn and shouted arrogantly: "Shopkeeper, prepare a box, good wine and good food will come up!" ”

That's right, it's noon, and Chen Xiaoting is here to eat the overlord meal.

When the shopkeeper standing behind the counter saw the brocade guard who appeared at the door, he knew that he would inevitably be slaughtered today, and he couldn't afford to offend these people.

Although there is a big boss behind the shopkeeper, he doesn't want to make trouble for the big boss, because he is tantamount to making trouble for himself.

When Chen Xiaoting stepped into the restaurant, the shopkeeper knew that not only was he decided, but he also had to serve this master well.

So the shopkeeper's face was immediately full of smiles, and he walked out of the counter very enthusiastically and said, "A few masters, what do you want to eat?" ”

At this time, the diners in the lobby of the restaurant unconsciously became nervous after seeing a wave of brocade guards coming in.

In his professional habits, Chen Xiaoting looked around the entire restaurant, and after pressing everyone to look at him, he would say to the shopkeeper on the side: "Find a private room and serve some wine and food casually!" ”

Don't look at Chen Xiaoting's simple words, but it is much more effective than Liu Jianping's words, and the shopkeeper will naturally find his way to please him.

The cooking was handed over to the cook, and after giving Xiao Er a look, the shopkeeper personally led Chen Xiaoting in front.

Generally speaking, the private rooms are located on the second floor, so that it is convenient for guests to enjoy the view from the window.

But most people are rushing for life, and there are very few people who book a private room, and most of the rich people set up banquets in their own homes, so many times the box is empty.

There are only two private rooms in this restaurant, and the shopkeeper led Chen Xiaoting to one of them and then withdrew, and he had to personally go to tell him about the wine and food.

There are two tables in the box, and four people sit at each table, of which Zhang Ertie and four people sit at one table.

At the other table, Chen Xiaoting sat in the main seat, Liu Jianping, Wang Weidong and Mu Changge.

The fact that these three people can follow Chen Xiaoting is a sign of closeness in itself, and others don't have a chance to come.

"My lord, why don't you go to yesterday's house?" Wang Weidong asked.

These days with Chen Xiaoting, not to mention how moisturized their days are, they can have a banquet every three or five days.

Before that, the little flag officer was so generous, it was good to be able to take his subordinates to eat twice a month.

Chen Xiaoting didn't need to reply, and a pastor Changge replied: "What was delicious in that house yesterday, the wine was as light as water!" ”

Liu Jianping also said at this time: "That's it, do you think we are really here to eat?" If you can't drink, what are you doing! ”

After being scolded continuously, Wang Weidong closed his mouth, so as not to affect his mood due to the dispute.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said: "Okay, what progress has happened to the things I explained to you a few days ago?" ”

Talking about business, Liu Jianping and the three of them all got up solemnly, and only listened to him: "Lord Hui, we have checked all the merchants contacted by the Chen family, and we have indeed found something strange!" ”

Half a month ago, when Chen Xiaoting was wandering around the city with his subordinates, he happened to meet the caravan of the Chen family in Guangde, so he sent someone to keep an eye on it.

Che Chen's family had dealings with those merchants in the city, so Chen Xiaoting asked his subordinates to check and find out the trouble of this nest of White Lotus Sect.

But the Chen family has always been relatively secretive, and there has been no major progress recently, and the only thing that is known is that the Chen family has been in contact with those merchants.

Originally, Chen Xiaoting asked casually, but when he saw that Liu Jianping really made a discovery, he immediately became interested.

I only heard Liu Jianping say: "My lord, the Chen family's buying and selling things in Guangde City is simply their trick!" ”

This was discovered by Liu Jianping two days ago, and he originally planned to report it after in-depth verification, but now Chen Xiaoting asked him to simply say it.

"Oh? Tell me more! Chen Xiaoting said.

Liu Jianping said: "Although the Liu family is ostensibly here to sell grain, the subordinates took the opportunity of counting filial piety and honoring silver two days ago to check the accounts of these merchants!" ”

"Then I found out that something was wrong, and the silver paid by the Zhou family rice store to the Chen family was three times higher than the market price!"

"And these are not recorded in the accounts, the humble position is the difference calculated after looking at the income and expenditure of the Zhou family rice bank for a month in detail!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting had to be surprised by Liu Jianping's dedication, the account books of this era are not so easy to calculate.

To do this, Liu Jianping must have worked a lot of effort, and he must have attained attainments in arithmetic.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting said happily: "Okay...... Very good! ”

But at this time, Liu Jianping said: "My lord, although I found out the strangeness of the Zhou family's rice shop, Changge and Wei Dong also put their minds into it!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then asked, "The two you checked, are there still no problems?" ”

Mu Changge and Wang Weidong glanced at each other, and then said, "The subordinates are incompetent!" ”

Chen Xiaoting shook his head, and then said
